Frequently Asked Questions

Learn More

What is estate planning and why is it important?

Estate planning ensures your assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes. It helps prevent disputes, reduces taxes and allows you to designate guardians for children. Proper planning provides peace of mind, knowing your loved ones are cared for.
What documents are typically included in an estate plan?

An estate plan usually includes a will, trusts, powers of attorney and an advance healthcare directive. These documents ensure your assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes and your healthcare and financial decisions are handled if you’re unable to do so.
When should I update my estate plan?

Update your estate plan after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child or significant financial changes. Regular reviews ensure your plan remains current and reflects your wishes and circumstances.
What happens if I don't have an estate plan?

Without an estate plan, your assets are distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This could lead to unintended beneficiaries, disputes and higher legal costs. Additionally, the court may decide guardianship for minor children.
